Making a Scene

According to John, Eric hadn't been attending therapy for the past few days, but he had been smoking constantly—so much that his entire office reeked of cigarettes.

And yet, he refused to say a word. By the time he returned home at night, Ella was sometimes already asleep. Even if she was awake, they barely exchanged any words.

On the other hand, Elias and Dorian were still able to spend short moments playing with him.

But Eric was coming home less and less.

Ella was so anxious that she nearly lost her patience. What was he trying to do? Face his past alone?

Was her support not enough? Was she becoming less and less important to him?

The more she thought about it, the angrier she became.

On top of that, Eric had confined her to the house for an entire week. She hadn't even stepped past the railing of the plaza.
